Milestone Watch - Some Biggies Ahead

[EatSleepBreatheGreen]

Sure, why not?

back at ya... lol

In all likelihood KG will retire in the top 20 all-time for points, rebounds and blocks, in the top 25 for steals, and top 50 for assists.  Coming out of high school skews his career numbers relative to someone like Duncan, but on pure numbers he'll have one of the most impressive stat lines ever.

Regardless, Top 25 in steals for a BIGMAN is ridiculous!!!

True - there's only 3 big men (Barkley, Karl Malone, Olajuwon) and 1 1/2 small forwards (Pippen and Eddie Jones) on the list - all the rest are guards.  Top 50 assists for a big man is pretty impressive too when you think of all the great PGs through the years.

Eddie Jones surprises me.  I know he had some good years, but I also remember him being oft-injured and slowed down considerably over the last years of his career.  My memory may be off, but I just would never have pictured him on an all-time list.

took the words right out of my mouth

Sure. KG's stat line is amazing. top 25 for steals and top 50 for ast...
interesting stuffs, TP for you!

I've realized we don't have a milestones thread this year, and I haven't seen this posted anywhere yet, so I thought this would be a good time to point out that some of our guys are very, very close to some major milestones.  We could see 4 or 5 significant achievements in the next game alone!  Here's the scoop:

Ray Allen: 27 pts from 20,000.

Paul Pierce: 25 pts from 19,000.  1 3 pter from breaking a tie w/Brent Barry for 14th all-time.

KG: 11 pts from passing Hal Greer and entering the Top 25 scorers of all time.  1 Block from breaking a tie w/Artis Gilmore and entering the Top 20 all-time. 

I'll try to keep updating this as they keep climbing the list, but there's a lot to look out for over the next game or two.

Bank on KG getting both marks and PP getting the 3 mark this Tuesday.  Should see the other two accomplished on Friday barring a scoring breakout by one of them Tuesday.

Guess PP can thank Toine for inspiring him to throw up that many 3's in a career

He's #6 all-time in threes made, as well, although he could fall outside of the top ten within the next year or so.  There are a lot of active players who are moving up the list.

The interesting thing about the three-point mark for PP is that Steve Nash is one behind him.  Those two could easily go back and forth for awhile.

Great topic. TP, and I posted that I gave you the TP because that'll gimme a notice in "updated topics" once this gets updated lol

Total side note, but this reminded me of when Steve Carlton and Nolan Ryan were flip flopping for a while with the All Time strikeout lead.  Ryan, of course, eventually blew past him as his career had a lot more left in it than Carlton's, but I thought it was fairly unique for a significant career category to be going back and forth like that.

Hey guys I'm almost at 100 TPs... Feel free to contribute...



Sorry I had to.. Cant blame a guy for trying... lol  

Sure, why not?

enjoy one on me!

Great milestones coming, indeed, TP for noticing them and creating a thread about it. We tend to forget how far Paul, Kevin and Ray will go in the history of the league, by a statitiscal point of view.

True, but steals weren't an official stat til 73-74, so it's more like a 2/3rds of all-time list.     I wish we could see where some of the old-school guys would rank though.

Eddie Jones was a much better player than I ever gave him credit for.
